    As we all know (or should), we have been promoted to the premiership. Although we have walked it this season we do really need to start to think about our chances in the premiership so I thought I´d throw a few players into the spot light. Feel free to agree & dis-agree & also add your own players that you think could do a job for us in the premiership.

    Naughton TOT - DEF
    Caulker CAR - DEF
    Richards M C - DEF

    Mutch CAR - MID
    Sidwell FUL - MID
    Moses LIV - MID
    Rodwell M C - MID

    Hernandez M U - FOR

    Not to sure how old they all are & I´m not saying we should buy them all, but they´re a few names that maybe going to other clubs come the summer. We can start to buy some top players now (not saying we ain´t got any mind) because we´re in the premiership next season.

    big teams want hernandez!

    Rodwell would be an absolute coup and i feel too good for us but we do have financial backing and it is NPs sort of player. Mutch i have been a big fan of this year but Caulker is valued way above his ability.

    LB is a bit of a problem and someone like Buttner or Taylor at swansea but realistically i think most will be obscure players from abroad - we already have the english backbone

    This! Nigel said to sky sports last night he is happy with his squad and don't expect wholesale changes.

    That said I think he will make 4 signings! A goalkeeper, LB, RB, Striker.

    Cant see us buying from the top 6 teams - wages are ridiculous and would cause disparity in the squad. Loans maybe, if we don't pay the full wages. Would expect us to recruit 4 or 5, of which I would expect I wont have heard of at least 2 of them. Cresswell seems a fair shout - not been impressed with Naughton in the Spurs line up - seems to have gone backwards since he was with us. We may need a bit more experience for the bench if KP purely coaches and GTF goes. Would quite fancy giving Rhodes a chance - think he could score a few playing off Vardy.

    I would considering go back for Mark Davies from Bolton

    Like Huddlestone for Hull. Has a lot of injury problems but top class if you can keep him fit

    only point in signing people if it will seriously improve the squad. Players like Mark davies wont seriously improve it, only add similar quality to it. If a player becomes available from a premier league club then we might be attractive to them due to how we have conducted ourselves this season but i imagine the main core of the team will be the same with some 'larger money' gems coming in from abroad. Think about who we attracted in the championship, the calibre we can unearth given we are now in the premiership is now mouthwatering...

    Mark Davies is proven class in the Prem. He will significantly improve our team and other more options. I think he would compliment Drinkwater, James and King superbly

    I agree Proud - he is a cracking player. But he was a sick note at Wolves, and has been a sick note at Bolton. Think it would be the waste of a cheque purely for that reason.

    I think we'll be looking at quality, young, Championship players, eg Paterson at Forest, Cresswell etc. (can't actually think of many others at this point, I've got to say I've been a bit preoccupied with Leicester so haven't noticed who's good in the chasing pack).

    Can you really see us playing 2 up front at place likes Old Trafford, Anfield, Etihad, Emirates, Stamford Bridge etc.

    We need options
